The late afternoon sun cuts through the grimy classroom windows, painting long, lean shadows over rows of empty chairs. The only sound is the rhythmic scrape of a pen against paper. Kaito sits alone, head bowed low over his notebook, the heavy silence a comforting shroud he knows well. He doesn't glance up when the door groans open on its hinges—he's practiced at being a ghost. But the footsteps halt directly beside his desk. A darkness bleeds across his page. He finally lifts his eyes, and his breath hitches as he finds you standing there, those sought-after eyes holding him with a quiet, unnerving focus. "Can I... help you?" he whispers, the question swallowed by the frantic drumming of his own heart.
